Assess Body Composition

This study determined the feasibility of using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to assess body composition alterations associated with body weight (BW) loss at high altitude. The BIA method was also evaluated relative to anthropometric assessments. Height, BW, BIA, skinfold (SF, 6 sites), and circumference (CIR, 5 sites) measurements were obtained from 16 males (23–35 yr) before, during, and after 16 days of residence at 3,700–4,300 m. Hydrostatic weighings (HW) were performed pre- and postaltitude. Results of 13 previously derived prediction equations using various combinations of height, BW, age, BIA, SF, or CIR measurements as independent variables to predict fat-free mass (FFM), fat mass (FM), and percent body fat (%Fat) were compared with HW. Mean BW decreased from 84.74 to 78.84 kg (P less than 0.01). As determined by HW, FFM decreased by 2.44 kg (P less than 0.01), FM by 3.46 kg (P less than 0.01), and %Fat by 3.02% (P less than 0.01). The BIA and SF methods overestimated the loss in FFM and underestimated the losses in FM and %Fat (P less than 0.01). Only the equations utilizing the CIR measurements did not differ from HW values for changes in FFM, FM, and %Fat. It was concluded that the BIA and SF methods were not acceptable for assessing body composition changes at altitude.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate longitudinal body mass and body composition changes in one professional rugby union team (n=123), (i) according to position [forwards (n=58) versus backs (n=65)], analysis of players with 6 consecutive seasons of DXA scans (n=21) and, (iii) to examine differences by playing status [academy and international], over 7 years. Players [mean age: 26.8 y, body mass index: 28.9+kg.m2] received DXA scans at fourtime points within each year. A modest (but non-significant) increase in mean total mass (0.8 kg) for professional players was reflected by increased lean mass and reduced body fat mass. At all-time points, forwards had a significantly greater total mass, lean mass and body fat percentage compared to backs (p<0.05). Academy players demonstrated increased total and lean mass and decreased body fat percentage over the first 3 years of senior rugby, although this was not significant. Senior and academy international players had greater lean mass and lower body fat percentage (p<0.05) than non-international counterparts. Despite modest increases in total mass; reflected by increased lean mass and reduced fat mass, no significant changes in body mass or body composition, irrespective of playing position were apparent over 7 years.
